Gust Factor Calculation:
Gust Factor Category I Rigid Structures - Simplified Method
G1 = For Rigid Structures (Nat. Freq.>1 Hz) use 0.85 = 0.85
Gust Factor Category II Rigid Structures - Complete Analysis
Zm = 0.6 * Ht = 22.545 ft
Izm = Cc * (33 / Zm) ^ 0.167 = 0.213
Lzm = L * (Zm / 33) ^ Epsilon = 463.316
Q = (1 / (1 + 0.63 * ((B + Ht) / Lzm)^0.63))^0.5 = 0.916
G2 = 0.925*((1+1.7*lzm*3.4*Q)/(1+1.7*3.4*lzm)) = 0.882
Gust Factor Used in Analysis Overriding option
G = Lessor Of G1 Or G2 = 0.850 is not working
Main Wind Force Resisting System (MWFRS) Calculations for Tank per Ch 29:
LF = Load Factor based upon STRENGTH Design = 1.00

Kh = 15 ft [4.572 m]< Z <Zg -->(2.01*(Z/zg)^(2/Alpha) {Table 26.10-1}= 0.902
Kzt = Topographic Factor is 1 since no Topographic feature specified = 1.000
Kd = Wind Directionality Factor per Table 26.6-1 = 1.00
qh = (0.00256 * Kh * Kzt * Kd * Ke * V^2) * LF = 31.90 psf
